Which of the following is NOT typically assessed during vendor due diligence?

The assessment of future market trends is not typically included in vendor due diligence because this phase primarily focuses on the operational, financial, and compliance aspects of the seller's business. Vendor due diligence aims to provide insight into the current state of the seller, looking closely at the company's existing practices, financial health, legal standing, environmental impact, and how well the organizational culture aligns with the buyer's values and expectations.

In contrast, while assessing legal compliance, cultural fit, and environmental impacts directly relates to the existing operations and obligations of the seller, future market trends are more about projecting future conditions and performance rather than evaluating the present attributes of the seller. Future market trends would generally be examined in the context of market analysis or strategic planning rather than in the vendor due diligence process.
